Haha, what the *** is going on here? Could this get weirder? Neesham only played white-ball cricket for Derby, 1 List A game & a dozen T20 games in which his bowling went for 9.40 runs an over. Now he's opening the bowling in *** India? I suppose he'll be opening the batting in front of Latham next... I give up.

Without having heard the interview, he could have meant he will take the 'new ball' in the same way that Bracewell did. At around 8-12 overs old. We seem to fairly often go with Southee and Boult opening, Southee coming off, being replaced by Henry/Bracewell, and then Southee comes back to replace Boult. Wagner coming in after the Henry/Bracewell or Southee 2nd spell.

No, he actually was talking about opening. He said he'd done it for Derbyshire ("admittedly with a white ball") and would be keen to do it.
I just heard that in a little soundbite during the news, so I didn't hear how the question was worded in the full interview - whether it's something that's actually on the cards or not.

Well, that would fit with the cryptic information so far.So Southee dropped and Wags 3rd seamer as usual, maybe?
Like Howsie's locked-in lineup except with Wagner retained.
Wonder if Santner will bat above Neesham.

Hrmm not bad. For full kre8ivity I used a random number generator and this was the first one I got:
Taylor
Neesham
Watling
Nicholls
Latham
Williamson
Guptill
Santner
Craig
Sodhi
Southee
Looks awesome
* some concessions to sensibility retained i.e. Southee can't bat in the top 7

We're playing ODIs as well, so I wouldn't be surprised if this was some daft cost cutting measure to go on top of our selectors just being generally incompetent these days.
or perhaps they think if they drop a seamer or two, then dropping a 3rd player and debuting another is too much change for a coach who seems to like copy + paste team sheets.

most coaches and selectors figure out by the age of about 8 that net batting and bowling is of limited relevance to actual cricket.

Didn't know Rochi was 35 as well. What a waste.

If I was Raval I'd actually be glad I'd been given a life raft to escape the sinking ship.Well I'm sure Jeet Raval would be keen to open the batting in the 1st Test but that ain't happening either.

Keep in mind the **** salary of a NZ domestic cricketer...
